The pee-wee
hokey team named The Screech Owls is off to a tournament in Texas. They enjoy
the city, especially the Alamo, a symbol for American determination, bravery
and courage. One of the teams they are up against has a hard time playing nice,
and Travis even thinks the assistant coach might be slapping a player. Despite
the troubles they have with that team, The Screech Owls have a wonderful time
at the event. When a few of them get the chance to sleep over at the Alamo,
they discover a major plot which could destroy Alamo!
First off, this
story is for Hockey sports fans; only. Knowledge of the sport and its rules and intricacies
is a must, I was very confused. That being said, the characters are
well-developed and the book is readable. Would be ok for upper elementary
students. I am rating this book as only optional because I just didn’t feel
like this text would be accessible by students who are interested in learning
more about Hokey. (Like I was!). There is also a spicy crotch incident which
might be a tad inappropriate for a school library.
